Maranian promoted to major general Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Brig. Gen. Stephen Maranian, Army University provost and Command and General Staff College deputy commandant, was promoted to the rank of major general in a ceremony Dec. 2 in the Lewis and Clark Center’s Arnold Conference Room. “The armed services have a long-standing tradition of celebrating the promotion of its members in a formal ceremony,” said Charles Davis, deputy of operations for the Army University Visitors and Ceremonies Office, who served as the ceremony narrator. “This ceremony is a public recognition of the increased responsibilities that the service member will assume. In addition, the ceremony also demonstrates the confidence that senior officers, Congress and the president of the United States place on an officer’s abilities to carry out new responsibilities.” Maranian was commissioned as a second lieutenant of field artillery in 1988 from Bucknell University in Lewisburg, Pa. His previous command and leadership assignments include commanding Battery C, 2nd Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery, 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood, Texas, and Kuwait; commander of Headquarters and Headquarters Battery, Division Artillery, 1st Cavalry Division at Fort Hood; commander of 4th Battalion, 319th Airborne Field Artillery Regiment, 173rd Airborne Brigade in Bamberg, Germany, and Afghanistan; chief of staff of the U.S. Army Africa/Southern European Task Force in Vicenza, Italy; commandant of the U.S.

Army Field Artillery School and chief of Field Artillery and director of the Long-Range Precision Fires Cross-Functional Team at Fort Sill, Okla.; and deputy commanding general (maneuver) for the 2nd Infantry Division, Combined Republic/U.S. Division at Camp Casey, Korea. Maranian’s education includes a bachelor’s degree in business administration and a master’s degree in human resources devel-

opment and strategic studies. He is a graduate of the Command and General Staff Officer Course, the Army War College in Carlisle, Pa., and senior fellowship at the NATO Defense College in Rome. He is also a graduate of the Greek language course at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, Calif. Maranian assumed his duties as Combined Arms Center – Education deputy commanding

general, Army University provost and CGSC deputy commandant in June 2019. “Today is a special day for the Army,” said Lt. Gen. Michael Lundy, CAC and Fort Leavenworth commanding general and CGSC commandant. “When we think about promoting a general officer from brigadier general to major general that is a pretty big deal. That’s a very tight cut, a very tough cut.

“When we promote general officers, we promote based on potential, and it is not the potential to the rank that we’re promoting them to, but it is the potential for more,” he said. “Not only are you responsible for driving the intellectual center here and being able to deliver what we are really known for as the intellectual center of the Army … you’ve demonstrated that that is absolutely what you’re gifted at, and you’ve got the potential to continue on as we move forward.” Lundy said the ceremony also symbolizes the help Maranian received along the way. “This promotion is a reflection of all those people who have coached, taught and mentored you and helped you along the way,” Lundy said. “Today is a day for you to reflect on that and be thankful.” Maranian said he wanted to focus on a term most often glossed over in other ceremonies — humble. “Whenever I preside over a promotion, in that moment when we take the rank off to when the soldier being promoted is wearing the rank ... it is a moment to think about,” Maranian said. “Everything we do as leaders in the Army is about the kids who just came in the military, and it is about that leadership that we have to provide to them. That is humbling. “The American people and our Congress vest in us the most sacred trust that can be given to a person in our country, which is to look after the lives and the welfares of our youngsters,” he said. “That is humbling.”

Chaplain assistant honored at memorial service Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Soldiers of the 40th Military Police Battalion (Detention) and other Fort Leavenworth personnel gathered together to honor the late Sgt. Jawuan Smoot with a memorial ceremony Dec. 2 at Frontier Chapel. Smoot was in a two-vehicle collision near U.S. Highway 2440 and Loring Road between Tonganoxie, Kan., and Lawrence, Kan., Oct. 24 and was pronounced dead at the scene, according to the Tonganoxie Mirror. Smoot enlisted into the Army on Aug. 3, 2016. He graduated from Basic Training and Advanced Individual Training at Fort Jackson, Columbia, S.C., with a military occupational specialty in religious affairs. His first assignment was to the 100th Brigade Support Battalion, 75th Field Artillery Brigade, in Fort Sill, Okla. After three years, Smoot was assigned to the 40th where he served for less than a week before the accident happened. “It is unfortunate that I cannot claim to know Sergeant Smoot very well personally … but I can tell you about the kind of person Sergeant Smoot was,” said Lt. Col. Matthew Hofmann, 40th MP Battalion commander. “He was a patriot. He was a man of God. He was our brother, and he was part of our Justice family.” During the ceremony, attendees listened to stories about Smoot from his former co-workers from the 100th BSB. Capt. Liam Fitzgerald, Headquarters and Headquarters Company commander, U.S. Disciplinary Barracks, read remarks on behalf of Smoot’s former battalion commander Lt. Col. Corey Woods. Woods wrote that he would sum up Smoot’s character in one

word —love. “That defines how he carried himself in this battalion during his service among us. There is a kind of love that is not romantic,” Woods wrote. “It is not weak, but it is real, and strong and vibrant. Love of truth. Brotherly love. Love for those who need encouragement. “This is the kind of love Sergeant Smoot conveyed. There is hardly a soldier who knew him who did not see his smile, his positive outlook, his way of making light of a bad situation and motivating others to be better. That is love.” Woods also described Smoot as professional. “It was his love for soldiers that inspired him to be so relentless in pursuit of excellence,” Woods wrote. “I watched this soldier, he was a private first class and later specialist at the time, cover down in the chaplain’s office without a chaplain for eight long months. I watched him take care of soldiers, plan events, brief me and the rest of the command staff, and become proficient in more than just his tasks as a religious affairs specialist. “No one is perfect, but he learned from mistakes and maintained a sense of humor. These experiences forged him into the kind of (noncommissioned officer) at the brigade level who could mentor others to follow in his footsteps.” Chaplain (Capt.) Caleb Miller, 100th BSB, read remarks on behalf of Chaplain (Capt.) Uche Iheke, who worked with Smoot at Fort Sill. Iheke wrote that Smoot left an indelible impression on him. “Sergeant Smoot, put simply, was a profoundly reliable rockstar in presence and mission accomplishment,” Iheke wrote. “He had an indefatigable will to make the good shine out in you. Smoot

Capt. Liam Fitzgerald, Headquarters and Headquarters Company, U.S. Disciplinary Barracks, speaks on behalf of Lt. Col. Corey Woods, Sgt. Jawuan Smoot’s battalion commander at Fort Sill, Okla., during a memorial ceremony for Smoot Dec. 2 at Frontier Chapel. Smoot, a religious affairs specialist, was killed in a car accident Oct. 24 near Lawrence, Kan. He had just arrived at the 40th Military Police Battalion (Detention) from Fort Sill, Okla.

possessed an unequaled honor and integrity as a person with his contacts and his commitments. He clearly understood the dignity of the human person and would go over and beyond to uphold and defend it. He knew how to reasonably set goals and doggedly pursue and accomplish them in record time. Smoot’s work ethic is simply unrivaled. “Sergeant Smoot was an allrounder, a holy man who loved God, his creation and fellow human beings. I call Smoot son and will hold him as such and will miss him until we meet again to part no more.” Other remarks were made by Staff Sgt. Sherlyan Williams, 100th BSB, who noted Smoot’s passion for music, contagious energy and his positivity; and Spc. Veronica Duran, 100th BSB, who noted the kind of friend and mentor he was to other soldiers and what he did in his spare time

to give back to the community. Following the tributes, Chaplain (Lt. Col.) Michael Williams, HHC, USDB, read scripture passages from Psalm 23 and James 4, and offered a meditation. “As it is with us and was with Sergeant Smoot and all our hopes and possibilities, and as it is in this life — tomorrow is not a guarantee. Tomorrow will come and go with the rising and setting of the sun, and each rising and setting of the sun brings along with it all our hopes and possibilities. Some are realized and some are not realized,” Williams said. “This does not mean that we cease to hope, dream and look forward to the possibilities for the near and far future, but this experience begs us to look to our right and to our left, look into the eyes of the people we see every day. See the person, greet the person, because I believe that every person has

hopes and looks for possibilities in the present and for the future, and each person has immeasurable value. “We rise with the sun and sleep when it sets. We move forward, and moving forward in life with hopes and possibilities, we do not fret the possibility that any one of us may not be here tomorrow,” he said. “We do not worry, but take a lesson from the life of this amazing young man, Jawuan. We could be like him and decide to make each moment in each day count, so we look to our right and to our left and be a minister of hope and encourager of possibilities for each other.” As the service came to an end, 1st Sgt. Richard Delgado, HHC, USDB, conducted the final roll call. Volleys were fired and taps was played before attendees paid final respects.

Brown Bag Lecture highlights Federal Executive Board Tisha Swart-Entwistle | Combined Arms Center Public Affairs Office

The November installment of the the Command and General Staff College Foundation’s InterAgency Brown-Bag Lecture Series featured the Greater Kansas City Federal Executive Board Nov. 26 in the Lewis and Clark Center’s Arnold Conference Room. In his opening remarks, CGSC Foundation Director Rod Cox, described the FEB as a chamber of commerce for federal agencies. “It provides synergistic support and services that a lot of government agencies find very useful,” Cox said. The FEB has an impact on the organizations at Fort Leavenworth and the ability to interact and work with partners outside the gate, including deploying or readying forces, employment of family members and interaction in the community, Cox said. Greater Kansas City FEB Executive Director Larry Hisle began by saying that 85 percent of federal employees are employed outside of the Washington, D.C., area. In the 1960s, the concept of the FEB was developed to help communication with

the federal employees around the country and between the different federal agencies. The federal government is the largest employer in the greater Kansas City area and, counting federal employees and contractors, includes more than 41,000 people, Hisle said. The local FEB covers the Kansas City metropolitan area, including Fort Leavenworth, and is one of 28 FEBs in the country. The FEBs are directed by the Office of Personnel Management, which has oversight for FEB activities. “It is really there to provide a forum in which federal leaders can collaborate to accomplish combined goals,” Hisle said. “Here in the Kansas City area, we have 160 different federal agencies that all report directly to D.C., so it is my job to get them to communicate and collaborate as much as possible.” Hisle said the actual board is comprised of the most senior officials from each of the federal agencies. The top employers in the area are the Department of Defense, Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of the

Treasury. Hisle said a few agencies unique to the Kansas City area include the Department of Homeland Security’s U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service’s National Benefits Center, Card Processing Center and National Records Center. “We are the new Ellis Island, if you will, for immigration in the United States,” Hisle said. “Every

immigration application comes to Kansas City.” Under providing security to the country, Hisle pointed out that in addition to Fort Leavenworth and Whiteman Air Force Base the area has Lake City Army Ammunition Plant and the National Nuclear Security Administration. The FEB has three main lines of business or mission areas — emergency

preparedness, security and employee safety; workforce development; and strategic partnerships. Under emergency preparedness, Hisle said, the FEB helps the different agencies by collecting and sharing emergency information. Hisle said that workforce development and support is where the FEB spends a lot of time trying

to grow the workforce. In addition to leader development programs, retention assistance programs and conflict resolution training, the FEB also offers pre-retirement seminars and other financial management/awareness programs for the workforce. Hisle said that offering the FEB programs in workforce development locally helps the government reduce expenditures and estimated that more than $2.2 million was saved in 2018.

FORT LEAVENWORTH LAMP

First telephones in city, on post caused quite a stir Heidi Crabtree | Special to the Fort Leavenworth Lamp

At the end of the 1870s, a scientific miracle, the telephone, was the talk of Leavenworth, and that talk consisted of more than just Alexander Graham Bell and technology. Etiquette, ghosts and proper grooming had all been connected to the telephone quicker than the time it took for people to learn to use it. Of course, the U.S. Army took notice, too. One of the early telephone lines in town connected the home of Leavenworth Times editor Col. Daniel R. Anthony and the Times office. The controversial publisher and newly appointed postmaster took pride in letting people into the office to see the device. Citizens were fascinated, but one out-of-town visitor was not very impressed. Chief Joseph, at the time the Nez Perce were at the fort, was taken to the city along with three other chiefs to see the sights. On June 19, 1878, Chief Joseph, Yellow Bear, “Charlie,” Cool-cool-ste-mikt, and an interpreter went to the Times offices and heard Anthony’s voice say he would be there shortly, at first not understanding that the voice came from his home several blocks away at 417 N. Esplanade. Later that day, they were shown a phonograph and heard their own voices recorded and played back, possibly making Leavenworth the location of the first sound recordings of Native Americans. The Leavenworth Times and other local papers often reported telephone news, whether it happened in town or not. In 1878, recent converts to Spiritualism

FOOTNOTES IN FORT’S HISTORY were likely entranced that a phone line in New York between a cemetery superintendent and the cemetery itself would ring when no one was at the graveyard, and the Leavenworth Weekly Times gladly passed the story on to readers. Local writers noted that women fixed their hair before answering phones and a Bible student who worked at the telephone exchange answered by saying, “Gehenna,” an Aramaic word for “place of misery.” Leavenworth folks became concerned about a habit that hurried people were getting into: dropping the second syllable when answering, “Hello.” Back on post, the earliest phone on Fort Leavenworth is said to have been in Quarters No. 1 in 1879 and the telephone exchange was later located on Arsenal Hill. By 1881, Leavenworth had about 120 telephones, with the central telephone company office at 319 Delaware St. Lists of businesses with new phones were occasionally published in the papers by M. M. Joyce, chief telegraph operator on Fort Leavenworth. One of the early 1881 lists included the fort itself. Joyce lived on post and had worked at the Headquarters since 1868. He was well liked and lived with his wife and children in a house behind the old U.S. Disciplinary Barracks. He took to the new technology with excitement. He was made secretary of the new Leavenworth Telephone

Daniel Anthony

Company, established in January 1881. The following year, more telephone connections were installed on post at the prison, hospital, sutler’s store, quartermaster’s office and stables. Phones were added fast, and exactly 100 years before the breakup of “Ma Bell’s monopoly” would make headlines, the Leavenworth Telephone Co. was bought by the Kansas and Missouri Telephone Co., adding to the latter’s growing ownership. M. M. Joyce did not live to see this post expansion-by-wire. In autumn of 1881 he went to Colorado for health reasons and died at Fort Garland, only 32 years old. He was later reinterred to the Fort Leavenworth National Cemetery where his marker stands a bit taller than those nearby. The young tech man was gifted posthumously with a memorial poem, sprinkled with ref-

erences to his profession. It read: Over the wire the news may flash but it matters not to thee: A message from the courts above – Has set thy spirit free! Others may guide the lightning’s flash as they lightly touch the key; And news may come from distant lands – Across the dark blue sea; But messages of good or ill – What is or is not to be; It matters not! Thy form is still – We weep to night for thee.

We weep as only loved ones weep – For a voice and form now gone; And we weave our grief into tearful lines – Nor deem that we do wrong; Although our sad and plaintiff strain – unknown, unheard by thee; Thy work of usefulness is done – Blest may thy spirit be. The poem was submitted to the Leavenworth Times and signed only “Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, Sept. 29, 1881.”

Students’ art adorns Commissary bags Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

Bradley, Eisenhower and MacArthur Elementary School students will help spread holiday cheer at the Fort Leavenworth Commissary from 4-5 p.m. Dec. 16 with hand-decorated bags for patrons to use while they are shopping. “It is great way to give back to the community with a little Christmas spirit,” said Gretchen Martens, MacArthur art teacher. “Plus, it showcases the talents of the students that attend the Fort Leavenworth schools.” Eisenhower sixth-grader Kate Lysaght said she was excited about the project. “It wasn’t going to be that hard of a project, and it is doing something nice for the community,” she said. “I hope that (Commissary patrons) like them and that it maybe brightens their day, and they are happy about it.” Though MacArthur students, under the direction of Martens, handed out bags at the Commissary in 2017, this is the first time all three elementary schools are participating. “We discussed participating during one of our professional learning meetings,” said Julie Hanf, Bradley art teacher. “We thought this would be an additional community project for our art program at Fort Leavenworth along with our art show in the spring.” Julie Beying, Eisenhower art teacher, said she thought the project would be a good opportunity for the students to connect to the outside community. “I just think people in general, when they see kids’ artwork, they get excited about that because … it is just something cool to get from the kids,” Beying said. The students designed hundreds of bags using tempera paints that feature holiday themes such as Santa Claus, the Grinch, and candy canes. ViLyne Wetterer-Rivera, MacArthur fourth-grader, said the Grinch was her favorite design to create. “It is a really good movie for the holidays,” she said. “It always cheers me up.” Nathaniel Welsh, Bradley fourth-grader, said the candy

canes were his favorite to paint. “They stick out more because they are pretty big, and they have these bright bold colors,” Welsh said. All the while, students learned painting techniques for creating big pictures that are clearly visible and how to make sure the paint goes on smoothly, as well as how their art may inspire others to pay it forward. “We discussed how it makes shoppers happy when they see students participating in the community,” Hanf said. “We also discussed the concept of paying it forward and uses for the bags after the groceries were taken out. Suggestions were made that the bags could be used as a gift bag or used for wrapping paper.” Paying it forward was what Welsh said was his hope for the patrons who receive the bags. “Maybe it will inspire them to put stuff in the bag and donate it for the homeless families,” Welsh said.

Youngsters take to stage for ‘Frozen Jr.’ Katie Peterson | Staff Writer

The Post Theater has been cursed to an eternal winter as 28 children, ages 6 to 16, have been hard at work preparing for the Child and Youth Services EDGE! Curtain Call’s production of “Frozen Jr.,” which will be performed there free to the public at 7 p.m. Dec. 10 and 12. The show, based on the 2013 Disney feature, follows sister princesses Elsa and Anna. Elsa possesses magical powers that allow her to freeze objects and people, but when she nearly kills Anna and freezes the entire kingdom of Arendelle because of her inability to control the power, she flees. “She must sacrifice and show true love to save the day,” said Marianne Tennant, production director. The production features newcomers and veterans alike. One veteran performer is 11year-old Amelia Weiss who portrays Anna. Though “Frozen Jr.” is her fifth Curtain Call performance, it is only the second time she’s been cast in a leading role having previously portrayed Peter Pan in “Peter Pan Jr.” last spring. “It makes me feel really good that I’m capable of such a part,” Weiss said. “I’ve learned that I can’t always get what I want because I’ve tried out for most of the main parts, and I’ve only gotten two of them. It made me experience a little more of life and learn a good life lesson.” Weiss said she is portraying a dream role in Anna. “She’s always been my person, and I’ve felt like I act like her, so it makes me really amazed that I got the part and that this show is what we’re really doing,” Weiss said. Meg Weiss, Amelia’s mom, said the program has given her daughter a lot of confidence.

Curtain Call participants as characters the Oaken Family, Olaf and Anna perform the song-and-dance number “Hygge,” a Norwegian word for cozy and comfortable, during dress rehearsal for “Frozen Jr.” Dec. 3 at the Post Theater. The Oaken Family is played by Brianna Phillips, Krista Moen, Logan Corbette, Ramzy Galas, Ivy Wittse and Eli Echeverry. Olaf is played by Sami Peterman, and Anna is played by Amelia Weiss. “Frozen Jr.” will be performed free to the public at 7 p.m. Dec. 10 and Dec. 12 at the Post Theater.

“It has given her an outlet for her creativity and enthusiasm,” Weiss said. “She really enjoys it. She’s never really been into sports, but she really loves the arts.” Eleven-year-old Juliana Parkes, who is also a veteran Curtain Call performer, said this show has been her favorite to work on for one specific reason. “I like being a man; it is different,” Parkes said of her character, Hans. “I like theater because I like singing and acting, but I also

like making new friends.” Not only does the program allow children the chance to fulfill their dream role like Weiss, or embody characters opposite of themselves like Parkes, but parents agreed that it teaches their children life skills. “It teaches them teamwork without being in a sport,” said Amber Parkes, Juliana’s mother. Tracy Martling, mother of 7year-old Nicholas Martling, who plays the bishop, said the program is beneficial in myriad

ways. “It gives them a little self-confidence, and it definitely helps with their public speaking and being able to speak out and project,” Martling said. “It is such a great opportunity for the kids to get a taste of acting, being on stage, having to listen to direction, follow a part, memorize lines and put on a show in front of the public. It has so many different educational, social and pragmatic skills because you’ve got to be able to interact with

other kids and other people. “Marianne does a great job as a one-woman show keeping (28) children corralled and actually creating something out of it,” she said. “It is amazing to watch it all come together.” The EDGE! Curtain Call program, currently in its 13th year, is open to military children ages 616 who are registered with CYS. For more information about “Frozen Jr.” and the EDGE! Curtain Call program, call CYS at 684-5138.

Timed courses featured in November orienteer meet Connie Carpenter | Fort Leavenworth Outdoor Adventure Series

The Gobbler Orienteer Meet Nov. 30 tested orienteers’ attack strategies as the event’s Score-O format placed emphasis on point values and time management versus number of controls captured. Each navigational control offered a point value. Racers faced a dilemma where controls requiring higher navigational skill sets and longer treks from the finishing point garnered higher point values. The peril associated with racers choosing to capture higher points was the participants being unable to return to the finish line within time limits. Controls in easily accessible urban areas were within a short walking distance of the finish line. While the captures resulted in reduced risks, the navi-

gation controls brought lower point values. The maximum level of points for the entire course was 535. The event consisted of three time divisions of 60, 90, and 180 minutes. Two families competed in the 60-minute division. First-timer Team Ninja — Aimee, Michael and sons Vance and Maverick Sullivan with dog Winchester — chose a low risk approach focusing instead on the art of navigating in urban terrain. Team Ninja captured 55 points in 48 minutes. Team Callahans — mom Mary and sons Lucas and Liam Callahan — leveraged their experience and tiny tykes’ team management skills to gain 80 points in 51 minutes. The 90-minute division proved extremely competitive as top orienteers sought to clear the course within time constraints. The approximately eight-

mile course stretched from the urban areas east of Grant Avenue to the higher western trail system, just west of Sherman Avenue. Orienteers ascended and descended approximately 350 meters. Edwin Callahan set a blistering pace clearing the course in 68 minutes. Coed Team Alias — Sandy Beverly and Dylan Bassett — squeaked into the finish line at 89 minutes securing first in their division with 535 points. Family Team Penguins — Brian, Melissa, Brendan, Sara and Avery Hanley — applied a textbook Score-O attack plan. The team navigated the course using a counter-clockwise, clover approach steadily capturing western points while moving east toward the finish line as time expired. Penguins secured first place in the family division with 230 points in 88 minutes.

The 180-minute division provided racers additional time to clear the course. However, endurance served as the primary factor in participants’ decision making and course choices. Bill Schluben topped the leader board securing 535 points in 94 minutes. Mary Jones followed, gaining 535 points 119 minutes. The objective of Family Team Go As A Team — mom Melissa and daughter Corinthia Stafford — was to enhance Corinthia’s navigational skills. The young Scout sought to achieve Scouts BSA’s coveted orienteering badge. Team Go As A Team captured 435 points in 257 minutes.

Keep safety in mind when holiday decorating Fort Leavenworth Frontier Heritage Communities

Twinkly lights, candles, holiday trees and plants, ornaments and other decorations are an important part of holiday celebrations. Besides being festive and fun, the decorations families bring out every year can help children feel connected to family traditions. To help make sure decorations are safe, the American Academy of Pediatrics offers some tips: When purchasing a live tree, check for freshness. The needles should be hard to pull off, and should not break when you bend them. When you tap the tree on the ground, only a few needles should fall off. Cut a few inches off the bottom of the trunk before putting it in the stand, and be sure to keep the stand filled with water. Make sure artificial trees are labeled “fire resistant.” When setting up a tree at home, place it away from fireplaces, radiators or portable heaters. Place the tree out of the way of traffic and do not block

HOUSING UPDATE doorways. Use only non-combustible or flame-resistant materials to trim a tree. Check all lights before hanging them even if they are new. Make sure all the bulbs work and that there are no frayed wires, broken sockets or loose connections. Be cautious about trimmings that may contain lead. Make sure lights are out of reach of young children who might try to put lights in their mouths. Wash your hands after handling lights. Before using lights outdoors, check labels to be sure they have been certified for outdoor use. To hold lights in place, string them through hooks or insulated staples, not nails or tacks. Never pull or tug lights to remove them. Plug all outdoor electric decorations into circuits with ground fault circuit interrupters to avoid potential shocks.

Pet of the Week

When lighting candles, remove flammable materials from the area, and place the candles where they will not be knocked over. Never leave a burning candle unattended. Do not use lighted candles on a tree or near other evergreens. In homes with small children, take special care to avoid decorations that are sharp or breakable. Keep trimmings with small removable parts out of the reach of children to prevent them from swallowing or inhaling them. Avoid trimmings that resemble candy or food that may tempt a young child to eat them. Wear gloves to avoid skin irritation while decorating with spun glass “angel hair.” Follow container directions carefully to avoid lung irritation while decorating with artificial snow sprays. Remove all wrapping papers, bags, ribbons and bows from tree and fireplace areas after gifts are opened. These items can pose suffocation and choking hazards to a small child, or can cause a fire if near a flame. Keep potentially poisonous holiday plant decorations, including mistletoe berries, Jerusalem cherry and holly berry, away from children.

FORT LEAVENWORTH LAMP

THANK YOU The Leavenworth County Veterans Day Parade Committee would like to thank everyone who participated in the 100th anniversary of the Leavenworrth County Veterans Day Observance. Thanks to all the citizens who came out in the very cold and snowy weather to share this special day in honoring our veterans. Everyone should remember that NO WAR OR CONFLICT WAS EVER STOPPED, POSTPONED, OR CANCELLED BECAUSE OF BAD WEATHER CONDITIONS - all should remember that Veterans Day is intended to thank veterans for their service, to acknowledge that their contributions to United States national security are appreciated, and to underscore the fact that all those who served - not only those who died - have sacrificed and done their duty. Words cannot express what we feel in our hearts to every veteran who did what was needed to be done so that we as Americans can enjoy that very precious entity we call “FREEDOM” – we say THANK YOU.

Thanks to: Masters of Ceremony Dan Wiley, Tim Vandall, Ron Coaxum, Walter McCullum, Jr. and Bill Corbet; Buglers; gp p veterans Terryy Bair, JJohn Bauer, Dale Cleland and Michael McDonald and members of the Kansas Cityy Celtic Pipe p Band Bagpipers the Kansas Kansas City City SStt A Commander COL COL Harry Harry Andrew Pipe Band; Combined Arms Center Fort Leavenworth; Garrison and the ndrew P ipe B and; tthe he C ombined A rms C e ter aand en nd F ort L eavenworth; Ga rrison Commander and Hung, Garrison Garrison CS MA ntwone T ones; W illiam B rown, n F ort L eavenworth D PTM; JJeff eff Wingo, Win i go, Fort Fort Leavenworth Leavenworth PAO; PAO; Fort Fort LeavLeavHung, CSM Antwone T..
